    I once ordered an item from North Carolina.  I live in NJ.  UPS sent it to Kentucky, then to France, and then to Germany and then finally to my house.  And when the UPS guy showed up to deliver it he wanted me to pay $90 in added shipping charges.  It was a major headache getting them to drop the additional charges so I could get my item.

    Here’s a synopsis of a very informative article on the USPS performance issues:

    “The delays appear to largely stem from a new system the Postal Service began rolling out last fall that will eventually funnel all the nation’s letters and packages through a consolidated network of 60 regional distribution centers — similar to the airlines’ hub-and-spoke model.”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/major-mail-delivery-delays-raise-concerns-voting-2024-elections-rcna146479

    Postmaster DeJoy is also a moron, so there’s that too.
    Not to pile on...okay, I will pile on....
    Ordered the Ames Boston poster from Ames on 10/03--a shipping order was placed on that day in Seattle.  Today (11/01) it pinged on the USPS system---in Atlanta, Georgia.

    Anyone wanna guess where the final destination for this poster tube is?

    If you picked Sacramento, CA you're a winner.  

    Seattle to Sacramento-605 miles

    Seattle to Atlanta + Atlanta to Sacramento - 4279 miles
    I had a similar situation with Ames Bros..USPS lost a 1996 Pittsburgh from the March sale….for three months. I’m in Maryland. It went to ATLANTA and then just sat there, evidently. After several weeks of communication, and several mo ths of waiting, Ames Bros.sent me a replacement because they had given up on USPS finding it, and said they were done with them. Naturally, the original
    poster showed up on my doorstep the same day Ames Bros. sent the replacement. We were both happy they actually found it though.

    So, at least it’s moving, but the mileage that it’s gone is astounding!
